Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium carrot
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the zucchini and carrot into thin slices or matchsticks.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and chop the fresh parsley.
Cut 4 large squares of aluminum foil, ensuring each piece is large enough to completely wrap a fish fillet and vegetables.
Place one fish fillet in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle each fillet with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Evenly distribute the zucchini, carrot slices, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic around the fish on each foil square. Top each fillet with a couple of lemon slices and a sprinkling of parsley.
Fold up the sides of the foil to create a sealed 'envelope', making sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of escaping steam.
Serve the fish directly in the foil packets or transfer to plates with the vegetables, and enjoy!
